Took about an hour of warmth and air to open up. Quite closed until then. A true to the RRV character with an elegant weight and full flavored spectrum. Great on its own.

Popped and poured, enjoyed over 2 hours with a dinner of pappardelle, roasted lamb, mushrooms and olives. At first fruity, a tad sweet, with air gained notes of sour cherries, cranberries, baking spice. Nice midpalate and length. A very nice, very easy, very straightforward RRV pinot.

Wow, last one and it's really showing well. Rich deep cherry with a slight nutmeg or clove spice . It's got an incredible finish that goes on and on. Wine is very balanced and the tannins really integrated. No need to sit on these. Not sure it will get any better.

Blackberry & boysenberry fruit, fleshy and concentrated. Keeps tight fous on fruit; hints of spice, nutmeg & fresh earth
